Petroleum Naphtha Spilled At Plant

Tom Salerno, the hazardous materials officer for the village, said the workers tried to put more liquid into a tank than the tank could hold and the overflow spilled into a dike at 1:42 p.m.

Firefighters coated the liquid, which is used to boost the octane level in gasoline, with foam to suppress its vapors, Salerno said. There were no injuries, and health risks for inhaling the vapors are minimal, he added.

A hazardous materials contractor was called later Wednesday to clean the spill at the plant, located at 6800 Canal Bank Rd., Salerno said.
